When I sat down to put this week's menu plan together, I rewrote it about 10 times. I just keep falling back on the same recipes over and over again, but isn't that kind of how it goes with everything? I find myself thinking of changes this week. There are some pretty significant ones coming my way soon, but for this week I just chose a few changes to my menu :) (New recipes on Tuesday and Wednesday.)

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Eat out

Sunday: Double Delicious Macaroni and Cheese (Jessica Seinfeld recipe 7PP/serving) with oven roasted broccoli and green beans.*Note: I love the Jessica Seinfeld puree recipes, but find this one to be the easiest to make and hardest to taste the purees, so it is a win-win!

Hope you all have a wonderful week and take the risk to make a change to your menu this week!

I am not organized! This will more than likely surprise any of my co-workers who read this because at work I am ridiculously organized. I plan my lessons out weeks (if not months!) in advance much to the chagrin of the members of my course team who are not so crazyanal um...organized. At work, I always know what comes next....

But at home it's anyone's guess!!

I work to come up with plans and strategies to improve this. I make lists, lay out clothes for the next day, put A's clothes in the drawers in outfits so I don't forget what goes with what, get containers for items so they have a place and but just about every organization tool or book I see, but nothing seems to work! I have come to realize that I may just need to accept the chaos that surrounds me as a byproduct of being a full-time teacher momma!

Now for the confession...I kind of don't care that my house is a mess or that I don't always know where everything is. I would rather spend my time playing with A, reading him a book or just sitting on the couch watching a movie with little A (confession #2, my child watches tv), I am on a roll with these confessions today haha! Little A and I have a system that works for us and we are rocking it! I have come to realize that there are a lot more important things in life than always knowing what comes next...just don't ask me to stop planning at work :)

What for dinner at your house this week?

Wow! It's been forever since I have written! There has been so much going on, I don't even know where to begin! There have been some major developments in my life lately that I can't share just yet but will very soon. Look for a post later this week about some of these exciting new life experiences :)

Today's post is something new that I am going to try and start doing every week to keep working toward that mission of improving myself: What's for Dinner? It will be a weekly menu plan listing what we will be eating for dinner each night. I have been trying to incorporate new recipes when I can so there may be links to things other bloggers have posted to give them credit for what is theirs.

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Apple Sauce Chicken with brown rice and corn (Will probably use apple juice in place of apple cider vinegar because I don't have any and won't make it to the store before Tuesday. Did this last time I made this recipe and it tasted great!)
